Jasmine, 19, asked WISN 12 News not to use her last name, said she thought she'd spent her last day on earth.

“Right when the car just hit the ice, I just seen the bridge, and I couldn't move or anything,” she said.

Bohr asked Jasmine if she closed her eyes as they were falling.

"When I was in the air, my eyes were open. I was just like holding on to the side of the car up here, and my hand was on top of the roof, and I'm just like 'Am I really spinning right now in the air? Is this really happening?' It felt like a complete dream. It did not feel real. It was just crazy," Jasmine said.

Jasmine lost consciousness from the blow to her head but came to a few minutes later as water began flooding the SUV.

“Right when I started to feel the water, my mind was like, ‘I got to get out of this car before I die,’” she said. “I'm like trying to break a window with my hand, going on top up here, trying to break the side window, and I looked to the back of the car and saw the window was shattered already, so I climbed to the back, and I went to go swim out and I climbed on top of the ice, and I'm yelling ‘Help me. Somebody help me.’”

Firefighters quickly helped her to an ambulance and pulled the driver, Jessenia Dhanjal, 25, from the submerged vehicle, but she died the next day.

“Nobody was chasing us. We were not drag racing,” Jasmine said.

Jasmine said Dhanjal simply got impatient as two cars jockeyed to race in front of them, and she hit the gas, to cut between them and lost control.

“It's just sad that she had to go. She will be missed dearly,” Jasmine said.

Dhanjal will be laid to rest Thursday.

Jasmine is bruised and suffered a concussion, but is otherwise fine.

Milwaukee police told WISN 12 News the investigation of the crash is complete, confirming there's no evidence to indicate Dhanjal was being chased or racing at the time she lost control.
